Spend it wisely.............................

 

......................a wee excerpt from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s recent annual report to shareholders:


However, as Charlie and I have always acknowledged, Berkshire would not have achieved its results in any locale except America whereas America would have been every bit the success it has been if Berkshire had never existed.

So thank you, Uncle Sam. Someday your nieces and nephews at Berkshire hope to send you even larger payments than we did in 2024. [To be precise, Berkshire last year made four payments to the IRS that totaled $26.8 billion.]  Spend it wisely. Take care of the many who, for no fault of their own, get the short straws in life. They deserve better. And never forget that we need you to maintain a stable currency and that result requires both wisdom and vigilance on your part.
